Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Often Calling Hope Dad, Got Used to It

Shen Changze blinked, and then looked at his own phone.

What a surprise, it was still on the call!

Shen Changze fumbled to hang up the phone and, with a pained expression, said to Zhou Shuyan, "Brother Yan, why didn’t you remind me?"

Qi Sishenn chuckled from the side, "Not only did I not remind you, I even turned on the speaker."

Shen Changze: "!!!"

"Brother Yan, that’s not cool of you!" Shen Changze cried injustice with a pained face.

"If you’re not talking bad about others, what are you afraid of others hearing?" Zhou Shuyan said unconcernedly.

Shen Changze hurriedly said to Lu Youxi, "Sister-in-law, please don’t take my words to heart, I absolutely didn’t mean any disrespect; it was just a reference."

Lu Youxi smiled and responded, "No problem."

Anyway, you have to call me dad.

Shi Yusheng felt a bit sorry for Shen Changze, so he helped change the subject and continued asking Zhong Shoubin, "Did you just say sister-in-law is a talented woman from Jing University?"

"Yes, sister-in-law is quite famous at Jing University." Zhong Shoubin also felt no pressure in calling her sister-in-law.

He didn’t feel it was awkward calling Lu Youxi a sister-in-law, even though she was in the same grade as his sister.

"They say she came from the country to Jing University with nothing, couldn’t even pay the tuition at first but managed to earn money by trading stocks, opened an internet café and a restaurant, started Little Pink Book, and even partnered with Chengzhou."

Zhong Shoubin remembered when his sister had talked about Lu Youxi, mentioning how classmates had once suspected Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan were husband and wife, but it was later debunked by Lu Youxi with facts.

Zhong Shoubin looked at Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan sitting in front of him, decided that when he went back, he needed to speak well about Lu Youxi to his sister, and show more respect to Lu Youxi if he saw her at school.

"Sister-in-law also trades stocks?" Shen Changze’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

He was purely interested in stock trading; making or losing money wasn’t important, it was all about the fun.

"Yup," Lu Youxi grinned, "But I don’t really play much now. The stock market is risky, and since I have legitimate business now, I avoid taking risks."

"That makes sense," Shen Changze nodded.

"Sister-in-law, you’re being too modest," Zhong Shoubin laughed, "I heard from my sister, they all call you a master. Many students made money by following your trades. And it’s because they heeded your advice to sell timely that they avoided losses. Those who didn’t listen really lost quite a bit."

"It’s not that miraculous," Lu Youxi quickly said, "I’m just more cautious. I’d rather earn less than take big risks."

"My sister mentioned at the beginning there was this Baixin Technology stock that was performing very well, so many students bought it following her lead. It was you who advised them to sell it off quickly, and that really saved a lot of them from losing money," Zhong Shoubin recounted.

Shen Changze listened and found it increasingly familiar.

Baixin Technology, even his Hope Dad had also mentioned not holding it for too long.

His Hope Dad seemed to have mentioned the same, the stock market is risky, better to earn less.

Is this just a coincidence?

Shen Changze looked at Lu Youxi with a strange expression, unable to connect her with Hope.

"Sister-in-law, do you also browse stock trading forums?" Shen Changze wondered if Lu Youxi also read posts by Hope.

Zhou Shuyan smiled, "She doesn’t just browse stock trading forums, she even registered an account."

Shen Changze suddenly had an unpleasant premonition.

He licked his dry lips and asked, "What... what is it called?"

Zhou Shuyan said mercilessly, "Hope."

Shen Changze fell off his chair with a "thud."

Except for Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan, everyone was surprised and looked over.

They saw Shen Changze sitting on the ground, apparently not expecting himself to fall. One hand was still subconsciously holding the back of the chair as he stared blankly at Lu Youxi.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, Shen Changze shockingly and regrettably blurted out something he would never be able to shake off for the rest of his life, "Dad?"

For a long time afterward, Shen Changze couldn’t help but ask himself why he had done that.

Usually, it was fine calling out on the stock market forums, as it was online and under a false nickname, and no one knew who he was.

Behind a computer and internet cables, it wasn’t so embarrassing to shout whatever.

But there he was, in front of so many people, calling Lu Youxi "Dad" directly to his face!

Everyone: "..."

What a sincere kid.

What was even more unexpected was that Lu Youxi didn’t hesitate to reply, "Hey, get up."

Everyone: "..."

Shen Changze then realized what he had just called out.

Suddenly he wondered — was it too late to pretend to faint?

Shi Yusheng was laughing so hard he was crying as he helped Shen Changze up, "Never thought Sister-in-law would be the stock legend, the Hope god!"

Zhong Shoubin stretched his neck, with Shi Yusheng between him and Shen Changze, and asked, "Shen Changze, so are you going to call her Sister-in-law or Dad from now on?"

Shen Changze: "..."

Damn these friends, is there any limit?

Qi Sishenn laughed and asked Shen Changze, "Do you often call Hope ’Dad’ on the stock forums, so used to it?"

Shen Changze: "..."

Actually, yes!

"Sist..." Shen Changze started, face turning red, then realizing it wasn’t quite right, he changed to, "D..."

He couldn’t even complete the word "Dad" and switched back to, "Sist..."

After switching three times, he still wasn’t sure what to call her.

Seeing his dilemma, Lu Youxi kindly said, "Just call me Sister-in-law when in public."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law," Shen Changze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Otherwise calling me Dad in public, I fear you might get beaten by your father," Lu Youxi explained.

Shen Changze: "..."

Qi Sishen chuckled, glanced at Zhou Shuyan, and thought to himself that Zhou Shuyan’s little wife was indeed interesting. No wonder Zhou Shuyan was so smitten back in Hexing Village that he wanted to get a marriage certificate with her right away.

He was so protective of her, not letting anyone even glance her way.

Zhou Shuyan smiled and introduced Qi Sishen and the others to Lu Youxi.

Now that the online "Dad" had appeared in front of him, Shen Changze unusually quieted down, speaking much less.

Then it was Shi Yusheng, curious, who asked, "Brother Yan, how did you meet Sister-in-law?"

"That rumor wasn’t wrong; your Sister-in-law indeed struggled out of her village," Zhou Shuyan said smilingly, "I was dealing with some stuff and stayed in her village for a while, and that’s how we met."

Finally, Shen Changze couldn’t hold back and asked, "Brother Yan, did you find out who was behind it?"

Zhou Shuyan nodded, then said to Lu Youxi, "Today Shen Changze called me, and just as we were talking about the rumor, I had Yu Zeqin check on it."
